Bacchanalia.

This mornings post was put up and then promptly swallowed by Blogger.

Here is a brief two minute recap.

The students are in town doing things their parents definitely wouldn't approve of. Last night there was a huge pre-semester firework display accompanied by music that was so loud we could hear it five miles down the coast.


Strawberries still for sale in the greengrocers but they're getting smaller and woodier. Another couple of weeks and the season will be over.


Wild things down on the beach. Twenty or so sand yachts scooting backwards and forwards along the sand. A spaniel defies danger and sits and watches these wind propelled teenagers whistle by. The windsurfers, volley ball players and local dog owners coexist uneasily.


How pristine the countryside looks after a shower.


I'll try and resurrect the links later today but here is a lady who says being 3 months pregnant helps with diaphragm control :https://youtu.be/jBatI3HRKtI?t=4216

The girls are in shorts and skimpy tops, and the boys are in trousers/jeans and long-sleeved tops. What does that say about the young?

Last photo tugs at my heart as it reminds me of our last visit to Scotland at this time of year and seeing so many rainbows. My favorite was at the top of Bealach Na Ba - "Pass of the Cattle" and I could nearly touch it. However, and on good authority, no pot of gold was to be found. Fascinated by the young women in mini skirts and giant platform combat boots. Ah youth. Clearly, I am out of the loop.

Is youth wasted on the young?
